Agreed. For rich clubs, money is nothing. However, points matter a lot as they can affect the club's survival in the top flight.Originally posted by BillyBong:Fining a rich club like chelsea is useless.
Fining AND deducting points would be more beneficial. In addition, single out the ringleaders and BAN them from 2-3 games as a warning to other players and managers who bring the game into disrepute.
Then give their opponents a 3-0 default win in that case.Originally posted by ghimpheng:even deduct 3 pts from chelsea would have been meaningless as chelsea now lead man utd by 12 points
